Abstract:

Dear Editor-in-Chief   Pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor of hair follicle first described as calcifying epithelium (1). It accounts for 1% of all the benign skin tumors (2). It is a slow-growing, firm, dermal or subcutaneous neoplasm, usually measuring fewer than 3 cm in diameter. Pilomatricomas are considered benign; rarely recur after surgical excision (3). However, cases of pilomatrixoma with local recurrence and local invasiveness have been reported in the literature.
